OnexPlayer pilot experience: Domestic handheld consoles join the trend of involution

In the emerging industry of Windows handheld consoles, stopping seems to be something that many manufacturers are unwilling to do.

It is actually understandable that this situation occurs. When the entire market is not yet saturated, by releasing multiple new products in a short period of time, we can ensure the brand's influence and popularity in the market, and as quickly as possible To seize the basic market share.

Yes, it’s just like the “sea of ​​machines” tactics common in the mobile phone industry.

Of course, even in a volatile market, there are still manufacturers that maintain a rational release cycle.

On July 20th, this afternoon, the well-known domestic Windows handheld manufacturer No.1 held a new product tasting event in Shenzhen. Not only was it on-site The upcoming new product One

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Lei also got started with this product for the first time.

More compact and more focused

Readers who are interested in OneXbook may remember the OneXPlayer 2 Pro EVA co-branded limited edition we experienced last month.

That is a very interesting product. In addition to the product design co-branded with EVA, it also has a three-in-one design of "handheld mode", "tablet mode" and "laptop mode" that is not available in similar products. , it can be said to be a rare innovative product, its main selling point is "all-round".

As a comparison, the OneXPlayer Pilot F1 that Xiaolei experienced today is a purer high-performance handheld console.

The first difference between the two products is the body shape.

Different from the OneXPlayer 2 Pro equipped with an 8.4-inch screen, the OneXPlayer Pilot F1 is equipped with a 7-inch 120Hz high-refresh screen. Correspondingly, the entire machine has become much smaller and lighter. About 580g, it is more convenient for users to carry it with them and play games anytime and anywhere.

In terms of core configuration, OneXPlayer Pilot F1 is equipped with the latest generation of AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor, using Zen 4 architecture, 8 cores and 16 Threads, the maximum acceleration frequency is 5.1GHz; equipped with Radeon 780M core display using RDNA3 architecture, the frequency can reach 2.7GHz.

In terms of storage, OneXPlayer Pilot F1 is equipped with a PCIe4.0*4 NVMe solid-state drive, paired with (16G/32G /64G dual channel) LPDDR5X 7500Mhz high-frequency memory, both game reading speed and core display performance release can be significantly improved.

In terms of battery life, the machine has a built-in 48Wh fast-charging battery and a 100W gallium nitride charger. According to actual measurements, it can charge 50% in half an hour and can be charged in 1.5 hours. 100% full.

As for the handle, One The ALPS gaming-grade joystick has a height of 6.7mm and a tilt angle of 18 degrees. It adopts the self-developed algorithm of the OneXPlayer team to ensure that the joystick has no inner dead zone and supports calibration functions.

It is worth mentioning that in a more compact body, OneXPlayer Pilot F1 is also equipped with a USB-C 4.0 interface and a USB -C 3.1 interface, a Micro SD 4.0 expansion port, a USB-A 3.2 interface, and a 3.5mm audio interface.

Friends and merchants really need to learn how rich this interface is.

Small size, high performance

After going through the parameters again, it’s time to experience it.

No.1 official brought two color products, one black and one white, to the media on site. The white version is still an engineering prototype. The material, color and mass production version will be slightly different. The official claims that the frame will be whitened in the future. Handled and equipped with a dark green rocker, it should look good.

As for the more traditional black version, officially called "Ore Black", it uses two different black matte materials on the surface of the fuselage. The slightly grainy main part is paired with a slightly smooth palm rest. , the feel is surprisingly good.

Among products in the same category, this appearance design should be considered a stable eight-point level.

Compared with OneXPlayer 2 Pro, the first impression that OneXPlayer Pilot F1 gave me is that it is much more compact, among products of the same size , this figure is considered very good.

To say that the 580g body is not heavy would definitely be a lie.

However, the design experience of the No.1 notebook ensures that the machine has a good feel. The inclination of the front of the handle and the grip on the back fit well with the palm when held. In addition, the center of gravity of the whole machine is biased towards the center. , there will be no discomfort when holding it with both hands.

Not only that, No. 1 also deliberately separated the heating part of the fuselage from the handle part. In my nearly half-hour hands-on experience with Forza Horizon 5, the handle part basically felt There is not much heat, and the holding experience is indeed excellent.

One concern about the small body is whether product performance and heat dissipation capabilities can be balanced.

Due to time constraints, this time I mainly tested two 3A masterpieces with built-in performance tests to see the general performance of OneXPlayer F1 at 15W and 30W.

At 30W, both "Far Cry: New Dawn" and "Forza Horizon 5" can maintain smooth operation of more than 60 frames at FHD resolution and low image quality. "Forza Motorsport" : Horizon 5’s performance test results even reached 88 frames.

At 15W, "Far Cry: New Dawn" can maintain a stable running of 40 frames while lowering the rendering resolution, while the performance test score of "Forza Horizon 5" is still 61 Frame, the energy efficiency ratio of the 780M core display is indeed quite outstanding.

Let’s talk about the specific parts that other players may be concerned about.

How does the button feel? The buttons on the one I have are relatively solid, and the joysticks are responsive. However, there are some "individual cases" where the equipment needs to be improved.

External quality? Above the average level among similar products.

Vibration feedback? The performance in "Horizon 5" is average, while the recoil feedback in "Bright Memories" and "Far Cry: New Dawn" is okay. It is probably a tuning problem.

As for the software that many players are concerned about, the front-end of No. 1 is relatively complete at present, and the back-end will be updated with a series of functions such as comments, cloud archives, and custom buttons in the future. In addition to not knowing how to adjust Except for mouse mode, I am personally quite satisfied with the software experience.

After actual experience, if the previously released OneXPlayer 2 series is a three-in-one computer game console that can be used in work, life, entertainment, games and other scenarios, then the OneXPlayer Pilot F1 can be said to be a more focused, more compact, and purer handheld product.

This machine maintains the same good body workmanship as always, front/back-end software that continuously enriches functions, a rare 120Hz high-brush gaming screen, cool RGB rocker light ring, and a freely customizable handle. The RGB nameplate further highlights the gaming attributes of this machine.

It is undeniable that Steamdeck’s high-profile entry and ROG Ally’s ready launch have brought the concept of high-performance handheld consoles into the mainstream. With many years of experience in mini notebook R&D and manufacturing, Yihao Ben hopes to ride on this shareholder trend, maintain the spirit of continuous innovation, and develop products of different forms to meet the diversified needs of more users.

After doing your part, all that’s left is to wait for the market to speak.
